Re: [HOWTO] abcde

I'm trying to get abcde to do a number of things such as name all my files based on their titles with the OUTPUTFORMAT option, however, it's not really working and just outputting track01.flac, etc.
MKCUE=mkcue isn't generating a cue sheet either

Is there something I'm missing with editing the configuration file?

This is essentially what I have in my configuration file (everything that I have uncommented)

Re: [HOWTO] abcde

Hi,

@mc4man; Nice link indeed . I see that the page has only recently added some details on how to automatically generate a playlist as well, not the most complex thing to do I will admit but it is nice to use some more features of this nice script...

@Captain_Falafel: You saw on that page in the flac section how 'cue' either needs to be added to your commandline or in the ~/.abcde.conf file under the 'ACTIONS' section?

Re: [HOWTO] abcde

Hello,

Looks like abcde and its associated tools is just the thing to help me easily rip my CD library to multiple formats on harddisks. I have installed abcde and all the tools mentioned that it may use. I have even run abcde on a couple of CDs, but I must have something misconfigured since the results it get are incomplete. Only the first four tracks are encoded, but abcde seems to go to sleep after that and the command line prompt never returns. I can show you my .abcde.conf file and the error and status files generated by one of the runs of abcde. Can anyone see something configured incorrectly? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Re: [HOWTO] abcde

Andrew,

Thanks for your razor sharp insight. I have faac version 1.26.1 which has the -w option, but not the -s option. I removed the -s portion of the AACENOPTS, and it looks like things are working now. Your page certainly is popular. abcde (once configured properly) is very easy to use. I have twenty years worth of CDs to rip, archive, and make available for streaming to my squeezebox, iphone, xbmc, etc and I just like being able to pop a CD in the tray, type "abcde" and forget about it. Now if I could just teach the cat to change the CDs for me, it would be nearly automated.
